利未記 1

1 上主叫了梅瑟來，由會幕中訓示他說：

The LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

2 你告訴以色列子民說：你們中若有人願意由家畜中給上主奉獻祭品。應以牛羊作你們的祭品。

"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to the LORD, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.

3 若有人獻牛作全燔祭，該獻一條無瑕的公牛，牽到會幕門口，為在上主面前蒙受納悅；

"'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD.

4 先按手在全燔祭的頭上，使祭牲蒙受納悅，代自己贖罪。

He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5 以後在上主面前宰了那牛，亞郎的兒子司祭們，應奉獻牲血，將血灑在會幕門的祭壇的四週。

And he shall kill the bull before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

6 奉獻者剝去祭牲的皮，將犧牲切成塊。

And he shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

7 亞郎的兒子司祭們先將火放在祭壇上，火上擺上木柴；

The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;

8 然後亞郎的兒子司祭們，將成塊的肉、頭和脂肪，擺在祭壇火上的木柴上。

and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

9 奉獻者應用水將內臟和小腿洗淨；司祭將這一切放在祭壇上焚燒，作為全燔祭，作為中悅上主的馨香火祭。

but its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.

10 若有人獻羊作全燔祭，不論是綿羊，或是山羊，該獻一頭無瑕的公羊。

"'If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.

11 應在上主面前，祭台的北邊將牠宰了；亞郎的兒子司祭們，應將血灑在祭壇的四週。

He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

12 然後奉獻者應將祭牲切成塊，司祭將成塊的肉、頭和脂肪，擺在祭壇火上的木柴上。

He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar,

13 那人應用水將內臟和小腿洗淨；司祭將這一切放在祭壇上焚燒，作為全燔祭，作為中悅上主的馨香火祭。

but the entrails and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.

14 若有人給上主獻飛禽作全燔祭，該獻班鳩或雛鴿作祭品。

"'If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

15 司祭應將牠帶到祭壇前，扭斷他的頭，放在祭壇上焚燒；先把牠的血靠在祭壇的旁邊擠盡，

The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;

16 然後那人將嗉囊和羽毛拔去，丟在祭壇東邊倒灰的地方。

and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.

17 然後司祭將犧牲由兩翼的中間撕開，但不可分離；放在祭壇上焚燒，作為全燔祭，作為中悅上主的馨香火祭。

He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
